Online resources bring the world of numismatics to novice and experienced hobbyists

Online resources bring the world of numismatics to novice and experienced hobbyists

The desire to have the grandest coin collection is an exceptional goal—one that
can only be obtained through acute collecting skills and numismatic knowledge. Those
who are extremely passionate about collecting will go to the ends of the earth to
secure the best coins possible in order to build extraordinary sets. There are others
who love collecting, but may not currently have the money to spend thousands of
dollars on one rare coin. And then there are those who are just beginning to explore
the finer aspects of the coin collecting world. Yet, despite the wide range of numismatic
knowledge amongst hobbyists, there is one commonality: a passion for coin collecting
and the desire to know more.

The proliferation of online resources has made it easy to build your knowledge base
and become more deeply involved in numismatic pursuits. Today, the Internet is a
place where you can acquire new coins or get interesting information about a favorite
piece. It can be the source of a wealth of information, networking opportunities
and other resources that you can use to help focus your collecting efforts.

The question is, how can you, the collectors, gather together in a fun, friendly
environment where you converse intelligently about numismatics? Where can you share
your wisdom with others to grow the field, show off your collections and gain numismatic
knowledge—and get it all in one easily accessible place?
